The band Breakfield have shared their new single “Pull Some Strings,” the next offering from the band’s forthcoming self-titled album, out June 12, 2026 via Rounder Records. The optimistic track is about “finding solace in music during heartbreak and life’s trying times.

Vocalist and banjo player Barton Davies says:

Our whole mindset with this album was just to take the pressure off and have fun. ‘Pull Some Strings’ is all about turning to music to get through a difficult time, and I think that really resonates with us as a band. We’ve been through so much together over the years, and making music has always been there for us when we’ve needed it most. It’s an escape for us. That’s what we hope this song creates for our fans as well.

Mixed by multi-Grammy-winner Matt Ross-Spang (Margo Price, John Prine) and produced by The 400 Unit’s Sadler Vaden (Jason Isbell, Beck, Morgan Wade), Breakfield reincarnates the band formerly named Boy Named Banjo as a four-piece. They’ve appeared at major festivals like Bonnaroo and headlined historic venues like the Grand Ole Opry.

Later this month, the band will bring their new music to Nashville, Atlanta, D.C., New York and more cities, kicking things off on April 18 in Chicago.
